Best Reaction Ever!

So my coven brother is staying with us for a bit as things get worked out with his move back to MN. We got to talking last night and somehow the words "We're going to die!" get mentioned, which of course gets a reference back to the "Merlin cast on the roller coaster" video which leads to explaining the show and the people who play the characters.

So I show him the pictures of Katie McGrath over on the Merlin's Keep site.

His jaw dropped. Like, for real. Like he had to consciously close it and still stared with wide eyes.

Then I get to Angel Coulby's pages, especially this one where the images are not 100% SFW, and he looks up and very seriously says, "I have got to see this show."

He might bitch about the anachronisms until he figures out the show embraces them, but I do believe we may have a convert! Wonder how long it will be before he makes Arthur/Merlin slash comments... *g*

Heee. So how does that turn out?

Angel and Katie do have magnificent boobies. Um, I mean.

*snicker* What can I say, I'm a boobies-girl. How can anyone not be appreciative when looking at the girls with all their lovely corsets and what-not?

(Though I'm still hoping their characterizations and appearances will be much, much better come S3... one can hope, right? I miss my OT4 *sadface*)

He only just got his tv and computer back due to some horrendous screw ups from the moving company, so he's had no chance to really watch or research anything about the show yet. I'm not sure he will fully understand the concept of fandom, but I think we could have a fun time trying to show him. *g*

Heard an awful rumour regarding the girls' characterizations and a plot point for a late episode, and really and truly hope it is not true as it basically ignores two years of canon. There are already people saying it likely is not as they have not filmed the episode number in question yet, so fingers are crossed that they do not blow it completely.
